You need wall screw anchors for the 2 holders for something as heavy as that tall wooden ladder unless the screws were going into wooden studs within the wall.
That's funny ,I was watching a video earlier about the Tower of Babel story , how God mixed up people's languages because they didn't want to spread all over the earth.
There should be a word to describe the tiny stressors that plague us every day, i.e., a lid that's difficult to get off and on, an uneven surface to set things on. It's so satisfying to watch you amend these tiny annoyances and inspires me to address my own to create a smoother flow.
I’m so happy if my video left you inspired!
Haha I’m sure the Germans have a word for this 🤣
Can't help with a word, but there is a lovely Zulu saying for exactly those tiny stressors, which goes: "The ants can get the elephant down" 👍
I call it “Mind Clutter” 😊
I thought I was the only person that got annoyed with such tiny things. I got annoyed that the laundry detergent handle was too narrow. Maybe we can invent a word.
Maddening mental minutiae.
This latest video shows you using several hand-held tools. I´ve never had the courage to learn how to use these and would love to see you make a series of videos showing the basics of how to choose what, and teaching on proper use. Even simple touchups like filling holes, using silicon, etc. are all of interest to me. Hope you will consider this.
I have considered something along those lines. Thanks for reminding me!
yes!! I would love to see it too
@@BenitaLarsson I'd love to see this too! I used to be quite handy 25 years ago, but when I got married I sort of let my husband become the handy one of the house. Now that he is older and ill, he can't do things anymore and I need to relearn my old skills!
yes, please!
This is a great idea.. I would def watch this!
Yay! Another visit with Benita! Topping your end table with a piece of wood is the perfect solution. It also warms up the piece by introducing a natural wood element - very pretty. ❤
Yay, for watching! Thank you!
Thank you, Benita. Great ideas, as usual. I particularly liked the artful and industrial way to hang a ladder. It looks great and is very conveniently located.
I have a round vintage wicker side table that I adjusted to not be annoying to use. The top sagged and the diameter was squished and not perfectly round. I traced the “squished circle” with paper and had a custom piece of safety glass cut to fit. Now items placed on it don’t tip over and it’s easy to dust. 🇨🇦
You have a keen eye for the simple and useful changes. I loved the idea with your ladder and it looked like wall art after you painted the straps! My first thought was your bathroom is so tiny compared to your old apartment bathroom. Thinking small and outside the box with the brush holder was so clever to me and also so useful. Thanks for sharing your make over ideas and I hope in the future you share more how your making the changes and the supplies you use.
Glad you like the ideas! Will keep that in mind!
This channel is the one channel where I can like the videos even before I watch them, and it’s always correct. Comforting and inspirational at the same time.
Agree
I
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Such creative solutions! To prevent cables / wires from becoming tangled try coiling individually, use a velcro cable wrap or a simple ponytail elastic hair tie to secure.
So satisfying to watch you getting all those small jobs done! Definitely makes me think about what I can improve in my home. ❤
I'm so glad if you were inspired!
Each idea is so good, it was hard to choose a favourite, but mine would be the clay handle on the wooden box: so stylish, unique and practical at the same time. Well done!
Thanks so much! 😊
if I put a ladder over my cat's food spot, it would be his new climbing toy :D
Box on the wall? Love it! That might be just the thing to bring a little something extra to a gallery wall… thank you!
That would be cool!
The hanging ladder--also makes a great base for decor (e.g. stringing fairy lights/hanging fabrics, etc), I love being able to "multi task" decor with practical! AND, I jumped on your cat bed in a basket from your earlier videos....
As always lovely, helpful, thought provoking content Benita💗
I’m so happy you enjoy my content!
So beautiful! I think the beige/linen accents are a nice alternative and complement to the grey accents that you've had in the past. Everything still looks neutral and calm, but with a little bit more texture and natural variation. And I'm super impressed that you covered the doors in the floor -- what a good workout!
Thank you! I'm enjoying the warmer tones in the apartment too!
I don’t tend to post comments as a rule but I look forward to your videos Benita and often rewatch them. This one was gold. I love your style and ideas. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
I agree, I rewatch Benitas videos more than once. This one was gold for sure.
Used apple crates ! An inexpensive, rustic and beautiful way to create shelves ! You can get them anywhere, Amazon , ebay etc !
Love how thoroughly you explain your why and how for each project. So interesting. Keep it up.
If you put the tape on the lid and do the pencil markings after, you would be able to take them off with the tape :-) I do that quite often to avoid cleaning up markings. Thank you for this great video :-)
Just watched this video. I totally find your minimalist game totally on point. I was just telling my mum if Benita visits our home she will get a shock looking at the visual clutter 😀find your vlogs so therapeutic
Thank you so much for watching!
These are my favorite videos of yours! It's inspiring and encouraging to see that we do not have to live with the tiny annoyances that drip anxiety into our days. I have so many of these and now feel inspired to solve some of them. Thank you!
I love the way you hung the ladder. It looks great and is functional.👌🏻I also have used your suggestion from past videos about putting some furniture on wheels to make cleaning easier. Life changing lol! Thanks for your videos, love them!
Wheels are so great!
Nothing makes me happier than finding inexpensive storage solutions!
Having lived in a small apartment for many years I have employed many similar techniques, but it's still fascinating to watch others do the same !
I'm not one for collecting soft toys but I bought a small blue corduroy Miffy which I love.
I came across a shop which sold every size and colour of Miffy the bunny and couldn't resist !
Pleased you have settled well into your new abode 🌷
Thank you, I love it here!
I love your miniature Herman Miller chair!
Tôi 65 tuổi, hiện tại ở Việt Nam, tôi đang học tiếng Anh online trên Lang Kingdom của Singapore để đi định cư với vợ chồng con gái tôi ở Canada. Tôi cũng thích nói chuyện với dân bản địa bằng tiếng Anh, để hiểu họ hơn.
A couple of comments - you could use a tall plant stand to put you plant on to keep out of reach of cats. I’m not sure if you already do this but you could grow grass for cats to nibble on. Also the artist’s name is Bryan Nash Gill - your print is a perfect homage to his work :)
I know, as soon as I pressed upload I realized I got his name wrong😬 And I do grow cat grass all the time.
I like all of your ideas. I find your voice very calming as well.
Spanish, I hear that language more and more in Florida, USA. Your space is so calm.
I have the same toilet brush, and like you couldn’t find a discreet garbage can. I’m going to use your brilliant idea! You really are so creative, and I enjoy your content.
Glad it was helpful!
I love all these home projects. I always have done similar but yours are another level and gives me loss of ideas! Thank you!
I love the painted ladder on the wall. Making functional/utilitarian items also aesthetic is always so interesting to me. I also must admit that I love the pretty green blanket! Green always looks extra beautiful against your neutrals. I bet Bonus's black and white fur also compliments it nicely. Mrrrowww! Really enjoyed the box treatments too!
Love the idea of keeping the bag on your peg rail. I keep a pretty fabric bin on my stairs for items I’m getting rid of. Once the bin is full, I force myself to deal with the items right away. I do the same in my closet with items that may have a stain, or need repaired or altered. It’s a great way to contain all the items that tend to sit around!
Thank you!
I love your attention to detail, it's so calming to watch you tend to simple things that make a soothing aesthetic in your home. Very helpful ideas, thank you!
The bathroom trash can idea was wonderful!
What a creative and inspiring video! What a great reminder to look at what you have and change what annoys you. You definitely have a talent for creativity and details. 👏🏻
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much Benita!- so many great ideas! I love how you cut a hole and added a knob to the small wooden boxes. Your shoe cabinet is beautiful! You have so many helpful hints in this video ☺️
So happy to have a new video from you! I love already the first idea, and how you solved a problem by taking something away rather than adding something! I totally thought you were going to add a knob to the box lid! I should have known you better, Benita! ❤😊
And then I added something to the next 😅
Yeah, I saw that after I commented! 😂 At least it was something you already had! 😂
Benita! So glad to have found you after all of those years since your blog ended! It may take me a while to catch up with your channel, but how excited I am to see you again! I'm so sorry about your Mom... Hope Wille is doing well. xoxo
Hope you’ll enjoy the videos!
Amazing ! Some really great ideas there ! Im still playing around organising and decluttering after our move . So look forward to your videos ! Thanks Benita 💐
I love these small, but very useful ideas! Thank you 😍
Fantastic! Thank you
Wonderful ideas are two favorites the first was taking the box lid and making a hole to comfortably remove it and using the ceramic knot on the other. The most brilliant second one is going to the kid's section of Ikea to make shoe storage. I have been so disappointed with the small space that is available from huge pieces to ones that truly were not pleasing to the eye. Thank you for this wonderful video full of other great ideas.
I use my favorite mug as a pencil holder at work as well. I think it’s a great way to use a mug! 💕
It really is!
I so appreciate your attention to detail & it is indeed satisfying when you find solutions to all the 'little things'!
It really is so satisfying!
happy women's day♀️and greetings from germany dear BENITA🌞
We so need long videos like this one, I enjoyed every minute..I could easily watch an hour long video of yours 🥰 thank you
Thank you so much for watching!
genial , praktisch und schön, tak
It's SO much fun to see all the little solutions you come up with
I kept seeing a tall plant for the corner. Love the hanging ladder. I love when something functional is beautiful, artisanal. The cat bed is great, another way to use what you have and not have one more thing to manage. Great progress, nice warmer tones too.
Tall plant may still happen. Just need to figure out which one 😅
@@BenitaLarsson Personnaly I prefer plants but maybe big dried plants in a big pot (like pampa??) to avoid problems with the cats?
Thanks, Benita! I really liked the idea of the little box hiding the chords and plug extensions - I may have to copy that one! 😀I have several small lamps across my apartment for a warmer and less intimidating ambience than with headlamps, but I hate the wiring (I bought most of my lamps before discovering USB chargeable lamps, oh well...), so this idea might be the solution I have been looking for.
I’m so happy if you were inspired by something in my video!
Excellent tips…. You are an inspiration truly…. Just a tip… you could hang a potted plant on the ladder while it hangs on the wall💚💚
Your videos, voice and aesthetic are so soothing. Thank you for providing this weekly visit for me.
Watched twice - so creative! Made some immediate, easy changes to make things much nicer. Thank you!
Dzień dobry !
Jak zwykle ciekawy film,dużo inspiracji i Pani spokój...
Oglądam i odpoczywam.
Pozdrawiam ❤️
Great ideas. I love getting small projects done like this. Thanks for sharing!
Benita, you gave me so many great ideas that I even took notes. Thank you! 🌷
I love your style, Benita. I also love your creativity when faced with storage or design issues in your home. Your videos help to remind me to try to look for solutions using what I have and to tweak existing furniture or bought items by adding different handles, paint, fabric or timber. I am also encouraged to see what you can achieve when you work with what you have in your apartment rather than needing a workshop for woodwork projects. Thank you.
Yes to working with what you have and tweaking!
So inspiring, thank you again!!!
Benita, I had forgotten how handy you are with tools! Videos like this one help me very much! thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
So timely for me! Thanks for all the fabulous ideas, Benita. 🥰
Im so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you gif these ideas and inspirations. You have a beautiful home!
I like your videos so much! So inspiring! 😊
Amazing ideias 🤩 So inspiring!
Your new cabinet looks fantastic with the pottery hanging! Lovely to see you settling in. Watching the video I thought, I can’t believe Benita can tolerate those distracting red straps. Sure enough… 😊
Haha, yes they were way too red!😅
Thankyou
Brilliant!!
painting fabic - I have used standard artist acrylic paints with great success - I mixed the paint with water 50/50 and stirred vigourously. I trimmed a stiff bristle artist brush (flat tip shape) and scrubbed the paint into the fabric. I kept mixing the paint/water as it tends to separate, and the final piece comes out a bit mottled (not perfectly flat color) but I think it is pretty - the big thing is that it is totally machine washable. With fabric paints usually it is not washable.
Thank you .. Brilliantly done as always .
Thank you so much!
What great ideas you have Benita! Thank you for the inspiration! 🦋
I’m so happy if you were inspired!
Such a great idea about the cutting board! I’m definitely going to Systrene Grene this week to get one myself. I’ve been using a tray for so long, but this idea is perfect!
I’m so glad you found it useful!
Same here!!! I have the same containers and used white felt rounds on top, but after some years they get a bit dingy, so I’ll try a wooden serving tray instead! Thanks Benita for all this lovely inspiration!!
@@ninacuneo came here to say the same! go to SG ^^
It's the simple & most obvious nuisances that nag at someone the most. It's always a thrill to find solutions, sit back & enjoy the results. The wooden box hole, bathroom trash can, side table timber tops & DIY shoe cabinet were my fave features today. Have a good fortnight Benita & Bonus.
Thank you so much!
Excellent ideas! I love how much thought you put into your solutions. I try to make my everyday as enjoyable and pleasing to the eyes as possible as well.
I'm so glad you like the ideas!
Absolutely LOVE your videos!! I wish I was so organized!!!
Thank you so much!!
I loved this video, so many handy tips!
Love it! ❤ Beautiful made video! Benita, never disappoint with quality made videos.❤
Thank you so much!
Love the last bit!
Love you Benita ❤️
Love all the ideas!!! I will be using many. Your apartment is gorgeous...and you are so handy with projects. Please consider doing a video in regards to tools. Every second Tuesdays with Benita are therapy days. Thank You.
I have that on my list of video ideas. One day I’ll get to it 😅
Great video Benita! You came up with such brilliant ideas, very inspiring. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Great video! You are so capable and resourceful! 😊
All great ideas Benita! I really enjoyed watching the creative ways you came up with to make your items work better for you and your home. It helps me to think outside the box for solutions within my own home - thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week ahead.
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow, all of those tips are so good and also quite creative! You’re a great out of the box thinker ✍🏼
Thank you Benita for this wonderful video, I loved all your ideas. The apartment looks beautiful, and so cozy.
Thank you so much for watching!
I love your creativity & the simple stylish ways you do things! Love this video❤️
Thank you so much!!
I am always inspired after watching your videos, and this one was no different. Thank you Benita!
Brilliant made several changes! 🎉
🥳 Hurrah, it's Benita Tuesday again ( my name for alternate Tuesday's when your videos drop 😂). I'm really not much of a diy-er, but am continually inspired by you to tweak and improve around the place. Kitchen cabinet reorganisation ☑️, evil tangled cable tracking ( in progress )... The attention to detail really does make a difference, yay! Who even knew it was possible to cover IKEA cabinets....? It made such a difference using a different texture.
Oh, I'm learning Spanish to read more Latin American fiction in the original...🙄 is the plan ! Hope Spring comes to Stockholm soon! 🌼🦋🌱
Spanish is such a useful language to know!
I am also learning Spanish. I would love to know which authors you aspire to read. I love to read. I have a beautiful edition of Neruda’s odes and it is bilingual. I would especially love to know of Latin American women novelists.
@@flyingcloudsmoore1313 the best writers for me are/were Peruvian: Manuel Scorza and Mario Vargas Llosa. Then the many Argentina writers, starting with Borges who-knew-it-all. Then the Spain’s glories: Lorca, Antonio Machado, Miguel Hernández.
Du hast wirklich tolle Ideen, Benita! Vielen Dank dafür, mit deinem " Schuhschrank", hast du mich wirklich auf eine Idee gebracht, die ich im Flur umsetzen kann, auch mit den kleinen Holzkisten, habe ich schon eine Idee, für unsere kleine Wohnung. Lieben Dank dafür!! 👍🥰
Thank you for the interesting ideas !
You’re so resourceful and creative! Love these ideas.
Thank you! 😊
You’re so creative Benita. Your new home is looking so lovely 😊
I found a well-designed, large ice bucket with lid to use as a small trash can. It features “Chessie,” the mascot for the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad in Virginia. Keeps my nosey dog out of the trash!
Lids are great for that!😅
Love your videos, always something interesting.
Thank you - I love this video.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Great ideas! Thank you! Saludos desde México 🇲🇽!!! 🥰
Really brilliant! I have similar projects to tackle (including improving on our componbilities). So I was very inspired. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
You are very clever and handy too! Several of your projects gave me some ideas - Thanks.
Wow! My lightbulb in my brain turned on with many of your ideas! Thanks!😊
Yay, that was the idea!
I love the ladder on the wall…….decorative and useful😍
Thank you so much!
Tack, mycket inspirerande.
Tack, det var kul att höra!😊
